As expected, Pitt’s volleyball team got into the NCAA Tournament. On Selection Sunday, it was announced the Panthers would face VCU (30-2) in the first round. That match will take place on Friday at 5:00 p.m.
If Pitt (25-6) gets by VCU, they will again face Penn State in the second round as they did last season. The Nittany Lions are the No. 1 overall seed so you don’t need me to tell you that would be a stiff challenge. Last year, Pitt took the first set from Penn State before losing and I think this year’s Panthers team is better.
